Insects of agricultural interest

Crops and farming practices are evolving at an increasingly rapid pace due to the globalization of trade, cutting-edge scientific knowledge, and climate change. Agricultural entomology is no exception. […] Whatever their motivation, everyone will come away from this reading dazzled by the beauty and imagination displayed by Nature.

Some harmful insects have become resistant to the control methods used to combat them, others, recently arrived, are wreaking havoc, and still others are being introduced to control these pests. Meanwhile, species classification is undergoing a revolution driven by phylogenetics, and there is an unprecedented surge in research on integrated pest management to meet new socio-health and environmental requirements. This book therefore focuses on the essentials. It brings together everything needed to identify the main harmful and beneficial insects, with a strong emphasis on illustrations.
